Same wheel here, USB. Never been a p[roblem. You need to make sure in control options its set up as combined axes if I remember correctly.
This means you can't actually brake and accelerate at the same time.
Saves you going to the trouble of learning how to heel-toe I suppose.

Quote from Julppu :First of all, you all just jumped on this thing because of the writer and his/hers past.

Not true, it was jumped on becuase of its stupid content.

Quote :why does every theory has to be so simple that "common people" could understand it,

I guess thats cos a theory so complex that only the originator can understand it is not really much use to anyone else. It has to be transposed from a theory to a practical, understandable application for it to be anything other than mental/intellectual masturbation.

Quote :.. saddens when teachers get the facts wrong. My experience is that teachers aren't usually any better than the average janes and joes.

True.

No restrictions to promoting your own, or other websites on your skin, only, as Slopi says, no promoting of adult content, racial or insulting material, etc. Use common sense, bearing in mind there are minors playing and watching. Have fun and welcome to the community

Quote from Jakg :Could it be getting really dusty and thus hot? the heatsink could be full of dust

Only time my pc ever froze on me was overheating on the graphics card - odd that, frozen and overheating. But it was very very dusty. i switched off, vacced and brushed all the dust bunnies away and half the hair from a dead rodent, it seemed, then I stopped overclocking my GPU and all was fine again. Exccept the rodent, that was beyond help.
All the dust has accumulated in the fan section of the GPU heatsink.

Well this got off to a great start didn't it?
I can't see it going anywhere useful either.

Rims are made using Bespoke, a handy bit of code from Andylec, but you have to be fully licenced for it to work. Not for demo users I'm afraid.

The paradox of which the learned Lerts speaks is a mere mathematical trick.
If you have a hare racing after a tortoise and you measure the time taken for the hare to get halfway to the tortoise, then measure again the hare covering half the distance again, meanwhile the tortoise takes another few steps, it may seem that the hare will never overtake. clearly this is nonsense as all you're doing is trying to tether time to the point where the hare draws level, as being the base point of reference, whereas in reality, time is the constant that will keep on rolling.

In fact this is an artificial imposition on the entire situation; the hare will race past at great speed until it comes across the Cadbury's Caramel bunny lolling under a tree, whereby it will be overcome by the feminine guiles of the sexy creature and the promise of sticky choccy and maybe some special pudding too if it plays its cards right. The tortoise will amble on unnoticed and eventually die of old age having forgotten where the finish line was.

At the end of the day I'd rather have rabbit pie than tortoise and furthermore does anyone know if Lerts has ever posted anything useful or indeed remotely related to LFS on this forum since joining?

Great landscape shots - Mt Baker is really beautiful - that's a really great photo Mr Denham. Do you have a bigger res version, I'd love a copy of it.

if you want a closer race against the ai, you can give yourself a heavy setup with 100% fuel for a 5L race, and/or take on a full set of passengers. If you're still in need of more challenge, try a road course with rallyX tyres on, or put a lego brick under your gas pedal so you can't use 100% throttle

For me, the game does not convey the sense of speed at all well, the difference between 30 and 90mph and the speeds in between are not easy to judge.

Quote :There should be a lot more important stuff than AI on the to do list. Too bad it doesn't seem like that...

Well there has been, and over the past 3 years the a.i. has been neglected for other priorities; improvements in other areas. I'm happy that the a.i. have finally come up for some treatment.

The a.i. will become more intelligent and more competitive.
More intelligent means pitstops, tyre wear, (pacing yourself), greater awareness of the other cars around.
More competitive means you'll find it a lot harder to whoop their asses.

I read that too in some popular science book by a well-respected neurologist. For me it's the best and most plausible explanation for that deja vu feeling, which lifts it from the pseudo-science mumbo jumbo 'proof' rubbish of Lert's fantasies to a reasonable explanation of a common phenomenon.

I'm sure I said that before somewhere....

Oh, XCN: FEINT = a movement made in order to deceive an adversary; an attack aimed at one place or point merely as a distraction from the real place or point of attack
FAINT = a temporary loss of consciousness resulting from a decreased flow of blood to the brain.

...so steering becomes more precise/accurate in the centre, and more effective towards the furthest extent of rotation?

So what does that actually do when you turn wheel comp from 1 to 0?

Another classic contribution to the forum, Lerts. thanks for your stunning insight into the mysteries of the human mind.

Maybe you need to understand a bit more about the meaning of the word 'Proof'.

I couldn'nt give a monkeys for non-intrusive billboard ads when I'm racing, all part of the trackside scenery - real or virtual, it makes no difference. If it helps creative people like the CTRA add really great extra functionality to the game experience with the revenue then good luck to them. As long as they are non-intrusive, for me that is the pivotal factor.

Where did you d/load the demo from?
Did it extract and install correctly?
Have you tried it again (the install, I mean)?

Well you can get the audio toggle switches off ebay, internet audio/electronics shops or radio shack. If each speaker wire goes to its individual switch before joining the main power loop then you can switch all or any of them in and out as you wish, as long as the power rating is not too much to blow any of the speakers. You may have to have a resistance on the off-side of each switch to simulate the speaker load when it's not on, so that if you go from all 6 to just one, the single speaker does not blow from having all the power instantly surging through it separately.
Does that make sense?
If you want a wiring diagram, I would suggets you post up the details on the Guitar-nuts.com forum, some very clever and knowledgeable guys there and a very helpful bunch, even though it's not really guitar-related, they are gurus at all things audi/electronic. Good luck
